Armstrong said he did not ask Kent to remove the mints from the store but was glad he decided to do so.

Like an obedient serf.

I wasn’t aware that free speech was discretionary.

These Obamunists are, at heart, totalitarians. And what cowards these bookstore administrators are!

Although the esteemed congressman should know the U.S. Constitution doesn’t protect him from being offended (I don’t expect the college student to have a clue), sounds to me like the Obama Disappoint-mints struck a nerve with the Democrat Socialists in Tennessee.

The Left can dish Rules for Radicals out, but they’re little cry-baby pussies when anybody gives them a dose of their own Alinsky medicine.

I’m thinking the same scene could be repeated at the Texas UT as the Tenn one.

Girlymen like Little Joey Armstrong tend to become “offended” very easily. The were raised by mothers who were constantly telling them that they were very smart and good little boys. Thank the Lord that the Founding Fathers added the right to not be offended to the U.S. Constitution and the Bill or Rights. If not, Little Joey Armstrong (Rat-Knocksville) would be “offended” all of the time. (sarc/) GET A LIFE AND TRY TO LIGHTEN UP JOEY!!!

"If it was a book or something of that nature, fine, but that's sort of a discretionary product they have there. It wasn't viewpoint neutral. It was very specifically insulting to the president."

You think that's insulting, cowboy? Wait 'til election time. We're just getting started insulting the 'president'.

This loser has nothing better to do than that?

No wonder the country is such a mess. Shame on people who would vote for this fat ugly slob.

It wasn't viewpoint neutral.

Neither are the corrupt communist professors at the University of Tennessee...so what is your point, Mr. Armstrong?

I presume this complainer would be fine with a 'bamster picture over every mantlepiece, in every foyer, and in every public building.

Fat / ugly or slim / pretty - does not matter. Stuck on stupid is the condition of the modern Democrat Party. That’s a fact, Jack.
